Working with checking styles

A checking style is a preset writing style rule applied to a document. Using a checking style lets you check a document for a specific type of writing. For example, you can choose an advertising checking style to check advertising copy or marketing materials.

You can create, delete, edit, and restore a checking style.

You can specify a maximum number of items when Grammatik checks the grammar of a document. For example, you can specify the maximum number of consecutive nouns that Grammatik allows.

Choosing a formality level lets Grammatik check a document for strict or relaxed use of language and diction. Each checking style has a default level of formality assigned to it. Each formality level focuses on a different style of writing. You can choose from three formality levels: informal, standard, and formal.
